Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a widely available inflammatory biomarker. Its prognostic role during hospitalization in patients with acute heart failure (HF) remains unclear. Objective: To assess whether CRP measured at hospital admission predicts in-hospital mortality in patients with acute HF admitted to a general public hospital ward.
